For three years, Camilo Villegas managed to make a name for himself without winning, Times staff and wire reports say this morning.
He was the young Colombian with model good looks and chic clothing, limber enough to strike a pretzel-shaped pose on the green to read putts, earning him the nickname ‘Spider-Man.’ Trouble was, not many of those putts went in. That changed Sunday at the BMW Championship at St. Louis. Clinging to a one-shot lead on the back nine at Bellerive, Villegas saved par with a 12-foot putt, followed that with two birdie putts and finished off a two-under-par 68 for a wire-to-wire victory and his first PGA Tour title.’
